Dispel

Get a mac! macs are cool but I'n my household we have 2 minimacs a G4 a mac bookand a pc. Minimacs are so horrible, its all the small things that get on my nerves with them. for one the vga cable adapter that comes with them to use a none mac monitor on them is this lillte block thats too heavy for its own good and weighs down. Dosent create a stable connection between the monitor and the mac giving blue screen and yellow screen until you fiddle about with it. this is just a taste of some of the little things that bother me so with them. evan the macbook i bought less than a year ago has cracked at the edges just through typying on it. So after less than 6 months of using it as intended its allready cracking and such. only thing thats still going strong is the G4 after years. My advice buy a apple tower system if possible all the other will only give you a headach. P.s I'm realy hung over today and in no mood to produce well structured comments sorry in advance. so todays post from me will be more like brain farts than anything else.

Personaly I'd be a bit iffy about using a commercial sim let along a freeware one. I think evan the commercial VPC has problems producing a stable OS sim(yes I've used it) . so in my opinion I'd just clean house with your laptop reformat it and get it working at a respectable pace again and use that to test pages/sites out. I'm no dev pro but thats just the way I'd go about the situation.

^_^hello

nice thanks alot m8 thats an awsome site. i thought it might be some technique/proccess you have to apply to get that sort of effect. Had no idea it was as simple as installing some pre-made brushes.

Just wondering what the name is for this photoshop technique? if any one knows the name and could push me in the direction of a good tutorial. cheers http://www.angellondon.co.uk/ (the paintroller style round the edges in white.) I've allways done my stuff in fireworks and im realy new to photoshop and have never come across anything in fireworks that allows you to do that.

Hello m8 I'm new here too and I totaly agree its a realy nice laid back forum filled with clever people. I started off on world of warcraft forums(didn't use forums till that damn game). and when i came here iI was so shocked at how cool it is. If any one plays Wow and post on the forums they'll know what im talking about its a warzone, so it made a nice change to find a forum where people just wanted to talk about and share in there passion without flaming each other... I am waffling on I'm a little bit P!$$3d at the mo (drunk to every one outside the UK). Hope to see some of your stuff soon though m8 and welcome again.I'm gonna shut up not and listen to some more rise against.

I'm new to this, browser hacks and conditonal comments thanks though i have book marked that article so I can back to it in a feww weeks/months.

ok I have the following browsers installed on my systems. Firefox (defualt on my xp machine) Safari(Default on macs + beta on xp machine) Opera IE Is there any other browsers i should use or do these pritty much cover every one ?

Just put this together I'm a l'ill worried that its busy, that theres to much going on in it. But if any one wants to use this in a project by all means just PM me and ill send em the PNG file if I could make web sites I would use it but I suck and I'm only good at this Green:- Rose:- Plain:- Tracing fairys in boring and sucks and should not be attempted at home without suppervision of an adult.

cheers

which

heres the logo, and art deco 0_o I've heard this said before but have no idea what it means ill go google it now. Hmm I should have optimized that first I just exported it.

Well I didn't study art, design or graphics I just fiddled with fireworks for years and just developed some skills(lol if you can call em that.) just wanted to know professionals opinion on this I made I just made a psudo company called Ramus international, that make Mods to offroad vehicles and designed this for em'. I dont realy know what to call it its a logo but I would class it more as a theme I dunno some feed back would be nice. Edit: I was going for a carbon compound vibe thing.. :s

Used to play the tourny scene and manage a indoor paintball site in manchester. don't play so much no more was in pbuk aswell with a team I was in but the team split some of our younger guys got scouted for bigger teams and some of us didn't wanna go that route. Plus a member stole one of our trophies and said it got lost so all went to hell now I just buy jawbracker and thats it still got my original Ego amd gear form back in 04 do a l'ill rec but other than that i dont play tourny, to much back stabing fights and tantrums for summat that was fun and awsome, well it was back when i first started out plus just got to exspensive even with sponsors. but PM me about your team and that i know the heads refs for england and the owner of pbuk might beable to help you out.

Hello well I'm going to go right ahead, and state the obvious "I'm new here" that being said I'm so greatful to have found a nice site like this to become a member of. My name is James I'm from Manchester, UK, 22, male I'm a recovering World of Warcraft addict been dry for like 3 months now.. one day at a time... one day at a time. I enjoy keeping fit and training (have my own killer gym >). my favorite program is Fireworks. This is my first pc I've always used macs and have macs just they dont play WoW good -.-. and thats about it theres more but that will cost you a beer and a date for that information, and I'm no light weight when it comes to the booze.

Ok so i know I have MySQL console running and I have a password on the root user I have the database made and saved to the server I just cant select it in the connections dialog box it says:- "1) There is no testing server running on the server machine." "2) The testing server specified for this site dose not map to the http://linksexchangesystem/_mmServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.php URL. verify that the URL prefix maps to the root of the site." but I have configured all these settings correctly in the site definition dialog box in dreamweaver so I dont get it, I have the database's I have the server. Dreamweaver simply dosent want to connect to the database's. P.s when I was installing WAMP5 it gave me the option to change the directory of my server so instead of it being C:/apache/htdocs. its actualy C:/Documents and settings/Family/My Documents/My Sites. I created the my sites folder there and made this my wwwdirectory(I'm a mac user at heart and I prefer using a My Sites folder in my docs). So if this has anything to do with the issue which I doubt, as I substitue your path for my own. Then I'm completly at a loss.

Hmm I'm following your tutorial, but after I create the SQL file and run the command in the commandprompt i get this reply is there some setting im missing here ? When I installed Apache,PHP and MySQL i used WAMP5 and that basicaly did it all for me. Any suggestions you might have would be appreciated. Edit1:Ahh ok in the systems tray if i click the WAMP5 icon in the i can launch a MySQL console that asks for a password if this the console u was trying to get me to access in your tutorial if so, can i carry on with the tutorial from there ? Edit2: never mind im back on track thanks.

Thanks alot I'm going to look through both tutorials now.

Hello this is my first post on these forums and im looking for some help if all you pro-designer/developers out there wouldn't mind helping me out. For years now I've been tinkering with web designing, but have never produced a website because of various reasons. Eventualy I just kinda' made header Graphics and Logos in fireworks and gave up on my dreams of producing awsome websites. Anyways this time round the gloves are off I'm determind to make a high quality proffesional web site so I started reading. My first thoughts are to start out making a blog, and luckily enough I found a tutorial in a book(Dreamweaver The Essential Manual Edited by Andy Stewart.) I own which had been gathering dust for some time. Long story short I set up a server on my machine install PHP and MySQL and configure the wwwdirectory (Lies, All Lies!!! WAMP5 did it all.) So now im cooking I have a server on my computer, well the tutorial said to access PHPmyAdmin and create a database. After a few clicks of WAMP5 icon menu in the systems tray I was off on my magical adventure of PHP, MySQL and other magical exotic far out terms and doodads that I could never be botherd to learn about at collage, pff html/CSS and Macromedia FTW... Enought with all that I'll go through the first few steps on what the tutorial tells me to do up to the part where im stuck. 1. Set up database create Blog as a database. (done) 2.Create two tables one named Entries and one names Users.(done) 3. Create a User (done) Then after these steps I am instructed to close the browser and open up Dreamweaver, define a new site, enter remote server info and testing srever info. Hit 'Done' and creat a new php page called Sign-in.php.so i did that no problems, but here where it all goes wrong. 1.Define a connection in dreamweaver. Applications panel > hit the '+' > select MySQL connection > enter my information (I was very careful with this i did not make any errors at all) But When I hit 'Select' too the right of the database field i get this. well the thimg is I've read the warning and I've tryed to correct it but I realy can't see the problem in any of the site definition settings. My localhost root is C:/Documents and Settings/Family/My Documents/My sites. Thank you in advance if you decided to help me i would be realy greatful, i just realy realy want to make a website ive been trying for years and somethings allways gotten in the way but its not anymore. Edit:P.s when I go through that process afterward i find new folders inside my root folder Folder 1:Connetions > Blog.php Folder 2:_mmServerScripts > MMHTTPDB, mysql.php, _notes(sub_folder)
